[Verse]
BThat was you up on the mountain 
BAll alone and all surrounded 
EWalking on the ground you're breaking 
ELaughing at the life you're wasting 
BOne, two tries won't do it 
BYou do it all your life and you never get through it 
EEverything they had to say 
EHad been erased in just one day 
[Chorus]
BGood try, we don't Elike it
BGood try, we won't Etake that shit
G#mI    C#mcan't  F#win
[Verse]
BThings in bars that people do 
BWhen no one wants to talk to you 
EFailing can be quite a breeze, he 
ETold me that these girls were easy 
BHappy that you said you'd mount me 
BFelt unlucky when you found me 
ESome nights come up empty handed 
EYes, I'll take it 
[Chorus]
BWait now, by the Esidewalk 
BHold on, yes, I'll Ebe right back 
G#mI    C#mcan't  F#win
Yeah, BI wait for Esomething
BCool it, we won't Etake that shit 
BGood try, we don't Elike it 
BHold on, yes, I'll Ebe right back

That was you up on the mountain

All alone and all surrounded

Walking on the ground you're breaking

Everything they had to say

Had been erased in just one day

Yes, I'll take it
